DO YOU THINK THEY LISTENED?

The following excerpt is from a letter coach John Wooden wrote to his team before the start of 1971 season.

"If each of you makes every effort to develop to the best of your ability, follow the proper rules of conduct and activity most conducive to good physical condition, subordinate individual acclaim for the welfare of the team, and permit no personality clashes or differences of opinion with teammates or coaches to interfere with you or a teammate's efforts, it will be a very rewarding year."

UCLA went undefeated (30-0) and won the NCAA Championship that season.

Do you think they listened?
